Nice receiver, very easy to work on. I have the original HR-10 that I purchased on ebay for about $40 bucks shipped. It just needed a cleaning and alignment to bring it back to specs. It was unmodified and about an 8 out of 10 looks. I used an HR-10 and a DX-60 back in my novice days. I didn't really care for the HR-10 back then but 35 years later its a real joy to use.

Guess he don't want to buy one after all. :(

This was a nice video. The HR-10B was my first receiver back in 1977. I bought it new and it took me all summer to earn the money for it. Good memories.

@fenech97 How much are you looking to pay for one (plus shipping)? I have a transmitter/receiver pair that I am considering ebay-ingthe transmitter since I have a kenwood transceiver. I may consider selling the receiver. With the cb antenna I have hooked into it, I get mostly cw and SSB around 14.1 mhz mostly

Jeff,

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased an HR-10B, so it was nice to get a bit familiarized with it.

Thanks!
